"A stroll through this forest can be a dangerous proposition," guests are told by the legendary sorcerer, Merlin. "This forest is enchanted. And living within it are two fierce dragons. One breathes fire, the other breathes ice. In order to escape, you must prove your bravery by mounting the back of one of the creatures and riding it to freedom." So begins guests' introduction to the only roller coaster of its kind. Dueling Dragons features two intertwined tracks that whiz guests over, under and around each other through the trees of a medieval forest and over Dragon Lake.

From the top of the 125-foot common lift; the Fire Dragon drops to the left reaching a top speed of 60 mph as the Ice Dragon drops to the right reaching 55 mph. With each track following its own unique layout, the ride experience varies from one track to the other. Dueling Dragons is an inverted coaster so riders' legs dangle free as they encounter five inversions and three near misses with riders on the opposite track. At times; the two tracks and their passengers are separated by a scant 12 inches.
